Adoption of Brush Busters and other brush management technologies by Texas landowners
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Increased distribution and density of brush are widespread phenomena that have led to a decrease in forage production, deterioration of wildlife habitat, and reduction in water supply in many places. The adoption of ...
Marine vertical cable multiple attenuation beyond up/down separation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Marine vertical cable acquisition is an emerging technology. It represents an alternative to surface seismic acquisition in areas congested by platforms or other obstacles. The vertical cable acquisition consists of recording ...
Determining the effects of the Junior Master Gardener[sm] program on the environmental attitudes of children
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Environmental education plays a major role in today's society. As pollution destroys clean air and water supplies, deforestation depletes vegetation and biodiversity and energy consumption reaches an all-time high, the ...
Impact of aging on asphalt pavement performance, ductility and DSR measurements
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this work, Asphalt binder from Texas, SH 21 was extracted and recovered in different years. This binder was studied and compared with lab-aged binder. This study mainly included dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) measurements ...
